Sui Feng and Ggio Vega's battle was quick. She did find him challenging at first, and even if she didn't want to admit it, he was a lot like her. He disregarded his comrades, just like Sui Feng and her clumsy lieutenant, Marechiyo Omaeda. But there was a difference between the two. Three, to be specific. He was an Arrancar, and he was just too careless. And the last difference, he wasn't an assassin like her. Omaeda was joyous that the battle ended so well, but Sui Feng still had to face off the older male Arrancar, and her lieutenant was of no help.
But Sui Feng knew that the next battle won't be as easy as the last one. The older looking Arrancar was strong, and she could feel his spiritual pressure even if she stood several feet away from him. And as the battle began between them, Sui Feng couldn't land a single blow on him. She panted, and the big man spoke, "This is ridiculous, you can't even budge me." He sounded so full of himself, and the second squad Captain was sick of it. The Arrancar stood up, and revealed his Zanpakuto, a large axe which rested over his shoulder. He not only felt terrifying, but looked terrifying as well. "Now, how shall I split you two?" Sui Feng frowned hard, and she could hear her pathetic excuse of a lieutenant call her. "What?" She spat. "Don't you think it's time?" Sui Feng was irked, "Time for what?" She spat again. "Gentei Kaijo! Hasn't it been long enough? Remove the limit and finish this old man off Captain!" Omaeda yelled. "Oh! So, you still have something up your sleeve?" "Of course you old fart! Once she uses Gentei Kaijo, she'll finish you off in two seconds flat!" Omaeda yelled, his face filled with vigor. "Do it." The Arrancar said. "Oh she will-""I can't." Sui Feng butted in. "What?" Marechiyo asked in disbelief. "Once a Captain passes through the gate, a Gentei Kaijo limit is automatically placed on them. But, in an emergency, they can remove it temporarily." Sui Feng said, her voice being dangerously low. "But this time, we've come here without Gentei Kaijo. In other words, we're already fighting at full strength." This was obviously something the slacker lieutenant didn't want to hear.
Shinji brushed Misaki's hair, as she was sitting next to him at the staircase of the warehouse. She asked him not to do it once, but he didn't listen. "Shinji…" She warned, and turned to look at him. His gaze was at the ground, and he held a serious expression. Her eyes widened, and she pulled his hand down and squeezed it. He chuckled and looked at her. "You get worried easily don't ya Misaki?" She frowned upon hearing this, and stuck her tongue out. Her gaze turned to normal, and she breathed out. "Shinji…" He didn't turn to look at her, but he listened. "Was this all just the way you planned?" His gaze grew hard, and he sighed. "What did Kisuke tell you when you…woke up? Here in the Human World after…that night?" Misaki found it odd to ask him about it, and he spun his bowler hat around, with his right index finger. "Kisuke said, there were no miscalculations. That was the miscalculation. It's exactly as we expected. It all turned out for the worst. Truth is, they really helped us…Kisuke and-"Shinji's gaze grew colder and his left hand squeezed Misaki's. "-Aizen." He got up and pulled Misaki with him, and held his Zanpakuto. "Let's go." Misaki nodded, and closed her eyes. 'Brother…just you wait…I'm coming.'
The Captain's had lost the battle. They were sure of it. Sosuke Aizen was just too strong, and his minions proved the point. "It's over…It's really over…" Izuru said in defeat, as fear enveloped him. Aizen looked down on all the Soul Reapers, and he also thought that everything was done for before-"Wait." Aizen swore he had heard this voice somewhere before. He turned to his left, and his gaze grew darker. "Long time no see, Sosuke."
"That's-!" Kaname was shocked. "Wow, look at all those nostalgic faces!" Gin remarked. The captains were all shocked to see new faces, and for some of them who already knew who the Vizards were, they weren't expecting this…company. Misaki saw Aizen staring at Shinji, and his gaze turned toward her. She shuddered, but she frowned immediately. 'Aizen…you will be defeated here…just you wait.' Misaki thought to herself as she remembered her brother being taken away. She swallowed hard, and stopped frowning. 'I shouldn't hurt my eyebrows by frowning so much. Shinji and the others are here, and Ichigo will soon be here as well. I've trained hard, so there's nothing to worry about.' She looked around. 'Minato isn't here, so he must still be in Hueco Mundo.' Misaki thought to herself and she took a deep breath. 'I'm ready.' She declared to herself and her gaze shifted to the white haired male who was staring at her. He was the one who dropped her from Hueco Mundo. His grin…was missing.
Gin didn't understand why she was here. She of all people shouldn't have been here. What was she thinking? A mere human couldn't stand up against an Arrancar! Let alone an Espada! Ichigo was human, but he was completely on a different level. That Mage girl was no match for anyone in the battlefield yet, she came. Did she know she would lose her life if she was just a tad bit careless? Then a thought occurred to Gin. She was here, in hopes to help her brother. Just like Rangiku was here to ask him why he joined Aizen. Gin knew Rangiku a little too well, and he knew the sole reason for her to have come here. 'You are very much like her, Misaki Otonashi. And I should've known you'd come here.' Gin thought to himself before grinning again.
"It's been a long time. Anyone in the thirteen court Guard Squads you wanna talk to?" Shinji asked. Misaki suddenly turned to see Toshiro looking at her, his eyes wide. "No!" Hiyori said, and Misaki chuckled. She turned to Lisa, and remembered one of their conversations from before. Lisa looked at Misaki and nodded.
"Hey Lisa, you were a lieutenant right? Who was your Captain?" Lisa cringed. Misaki didn't know what to do. "I'm sorry if you-""He was a dumbass." Misaki 'ah'ed. "His name was Shunsui Kyoraku. And I-"Lisa turned to Misaki with a sad expression. Misaki gasped as Lisa held her hand. "-I looked up to that bastard." Lisa's voice was shaking. Misaki held her, "You'll see him again at the showdown, and maybe you can talk to him Lisa?" Misaki asked hopefully. Lisa looked at Misaki's face. "I'm gonna try and talk to Toshiro, so at that time, you can talk to Captain Kyoraku, what say?" Misaki smiled. Lisa smirked a little and nodded. "Yeah, I'll kick him once and tell him how strong I've become." Misaki chuckled. "You do that Lisa, you'll feel better, I promise." Misaki smiled once more and this time, Lisa returned it.
"Shut up Hiyori! I wasn't asking you." Shinji snapped. "Why wouldn't you ask me? You were asking everyone weren't you?" Hiyori yelled back, and Misaki sighed. "I don't care." Love said. "Me neither." Rose said. "Not in the thirteen Court Guard Squads." Hachi replied. "Me neither." Kensei said. "Me too." Mashiro said. Lisa and Misaki were quiet. Lisa turned to Misaki one last time, and Misaki nodded in reassurance. Shinji noticed and smirked. Misaki and Lisa sped off, each to visit someone close to them. "Hey! Where're you two going?" Hiyori yelled. "Well, I think I'll pay Old man Yamamoto a visit." Shinji sped off, watching Misaki go to the white haired Captain Hitsugaya.
Lisa stood in front of a collapsed Kyoraku and stared. 'I'm listening to you Misaki, geez, never thought this day would come.' And she moved forward. She kicked her old Captain on his head, further embedding him deeper into the pile of debris. "Ow!" "How long are you gonna play dead?" She yelled. "I can't believe it Lisa, you've grown so pretty since the last time I saw you." Heat rushed up to her cheeks and Lisa ignored his compliment. She kicked his chin, "Ow!" He yelled. "Just lie there. I'll show you how strong I've become." Lisa said, turning her back on him. "Lisa." Shunsui said, and she stopped for a brief second. "I'm glad you're alright." Lisa could almost smile. 'You were right, Misaki.' "Idiot." She said, and sped off.
Toshiro didn't recognize one person in that crowd except for her. He swore she was taken away but there she was, safe and sound. She turned to look at him, and she smiled. It was Misaki! Toshiro was so glad she was safe, and he almost smiled. The group got into a conversation, and Misaki rushed toward him. His eyes grew wide as she stood in midair, a few feet in front of him. "M-Misaki…" Toshiro stuttered. Misaki smiled. "Hey there, little Shiro." Toshiro was irked. That was exactly what Momo would call him, and now she was calling him that as well. "Don't call me that." "Okay, Captain Hitsugaya." Misaki giggled. She stared at the boy, and smiled sadly. "I'm sorry if I worried you." Toshiro blushed and shook his head. "You didn't worry me! Who told you that?" He countered. Misaki giggled and walked closer to the boy and hugged him. "You're a little brother I've always wanted, Captain. And, be safe." She said, and turned her back on him. "Misaki, how-?""I'll explain later, Captain." She said, smiling. Before she left, "Misaki…" Toshiro said. She turned to see him, "Yes, Captain?" Toshiro gulped and his face grew red. "It's Toshiro…to you…" Misaki beamed at the boy and nodded. "Later, Toshiro." The Captain smiled.
Shinji returned and saw that Misaki and Lisa were back as well. "You done talking?" Love asked. "No, but we can't waste time on him." Shinji muttered. "The enemy's growing impatient." Then suddenly the Hooleer opened up and thousands of Gillians emerged from the inside. The Captain's eyes widened, and Shinji pulled down his hollow mask, "Let's do this." Misaki readied herself. "Manus Contego, Grandis." She muttered, and her hands were enveloped in a mass of energy. The Vizards unsheathed their Zanpakuto's and Misaki accelerated her Hand Shields. They looked like gloves with sharp hooks pointed at the ends. The nine of them dashed forward and each slashed a Gillian with ease. Misaki punched one, and tore apart effortlessly. She touched her ankle and it now was also covered with a mass of energy and Misaki raced toward another Gillian and kicked it on its so called face, and it fell atop of another and Misaki muttered, "Inaedificare Cruciamentum." A deep violet gas covered the Gillian and when the gas released, it was nowhere to be seen. There were two more left, and Hiyori and Misaki looked at each other. Misaki grinned and dashed toward the two Gillian and Hiyori got ready to use a Cero. Misaki punched one Gillian and before the Cero could hit her, she jumped right out of the range. "We make a good team Hiyori." Misaki smiled. "Feh, whatever." 'Yeah, we do.' The female Vizard thought to herself.
Misaki turned to see Shinji who stood in front of Aizen. 'Shinji…be careful.' She thought to herself and got back into the fight.
The Captains were amazed at the Vizards strengths and the Head Captain was shocked to see the Mage girl, fight so well. 'That girl, must have trained day and night if she had to become that good.' He thought. Toshiro's eyes widened as he saw Misaki attack the Gillians with ease. "This is crazy…they're just so damn strong!" He said, out loud. 'Misaki…you've become stronger than I could imagine!' Toshiro thought.
"We've gotten good with these hollow powers right, Sosuke?" Shinji said, as he took off his mask. "Let's end this." He slashed his blade toward Aizen and suddenly Kaname appeared in front of Shinji, his blade missing the Vizard barely. Misaki turned to see Shinji and frowned. "Don't. Leave him be." Hiyori said, and Misaki nodded unwillingly. 'Don't you dare die, Shinji.' Misaki thought to herself. She then saw the fox headed Captain defend Shinji and his words shocked everyone. "You destroyed those Menos Grande, that's enough for me to fight by your side." Misaki smiled. Lisa dashed toward the female Arrancar that was fighting against Toshiro and defended the white haired Captain. Misaki's gaze turned toward Hachi and she said, "Hachi, let me fight with you." Hachi nodded and the two went toward the female Captain and her lieutenant. "You don't need a special reason for two forces to join in…" Hachi said, "Yeah, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?" Misaki added.
"It's been a long time, Sui Feng." Hachi spoke, and Misaki assumed it was for the Captain. "Y-You know him? Why didn't you say so? Well, who is this big guy? And the girl?-"Sui Feng hit her lieutenant on his face and continued, "I don't know. I've never seen him before in my life. And as for the girl, she's just a human." Hachi closed his eyes and added, "I thought you might say that. I'm not surprised, you do not think well of us." Hachi said, his voice glum. Misaki looked sad at her mentor, and turned to the Arrancar as he spoke, "That's enough of your chatter. It doesn't matter who you are, or what powers you have. Everything is equal before me." Barragan said, and Misaki frowned. 'This guy…looks like the typical grim reaper from movies…what a freak…' She thought to herself. 'But he's strong, I know it.' "Come here, and I'll turn you to bone and destroy you too." Misaki frowned harder. "Hachi, do it." Hachi used a barrier incantation and sealed Barragan. "I've seen what you can do. That's why I came here to fight you. All attacks are the same unless they can tough you. It is truly a fearsome power." Hachi said. Misaki breathed out. But the Kido spell disintegrated and Hachi's eyes widened. Misaki's face remained stoic. 'Of course, Kido can age as well…' She thought to herself. 'The only thing which cannot age, is time itself. I've got to think of a plan.' Misaki's gaze on the Arrancar hardened. 'I'm the only one who can fight this guy!'
"Brethren in arms, never contemplating retreat. Blue bolt, white bolt, black bolt, red bolt. Sinking into the sea together to redeem themselves. "Ryubo no Jomon!" Hachi yelled, and encased the Arrancar in a labyrinth of cages. "Hachi, I've an idea." Misaki said, and the man turned toward her. "But we need the Captain's help." Misaki admitted. "Kisuke told me about her, um…Bankai was it?" Sui Feng was annoyed. 'I hate him.' She thought to herself as she thought of Kisuke Urahara. "So, you know about my Bankai as well eh?" Sui Feng said. "You've got to help us Sui Feng!" Hachi requested. "Please, I know you don't want to work with us because of our connections with Kisuke Urahara, but can't you see this isn't the time for that?" Hachi said. 'She hates Kisuke?' Misaki thought to herself. Then the strangest thing occurred to her. Misaki's eyes widened and she clapped her hands together. "Captain Sui Feng?" The female Captain turned to the Mage. "Let's make a deal?" This peaked the Captain's interest. "What deal?" Sui Feng asked and Misaki grinned evilly. "I promise you, I'll seal Kisuke Urahara for a month in a Mage barrier that he can't get out of." Sui Feng smirked slightly. 'I think she bought it.' Misaki smiled. 'I'm sorry Kisuke…'
"Koko no Jomon! Kigai no Jomon! Hoyoku no Jomon! Shiju no Saimon!" Hachi surrounded the Arrancar in mazes of Kido barriers. "Ridiculous! Do you think you can seal me with this?" Barragan yelled. "No it's not meant to seal you. You used your abilities on Captain's Bankai, and made it explode a few meters away from you. But what if, you're in someplace where you can't escape? If the explosion is so close that your powers aren't fast enough to keep it away from you?" Misaki questioned. "Damn you!" Barragan yelled, as he saw Sui Feng at the corner of the cage, readying her Bankai. "Promise me, tomorrow you'll seal Kisuke Urahara in one of your barriers, for a month." Misaki couldn't hold back a giggle as Hachi sighed. "I promise." Sui Feng smirked. "Jakuho Raikoben!" And an immense blast filled the Kido barrier.
